Mom, grandmother indicted for murder after forcing 4-year-old to drink whiskey
BATON ROUGE - Two women accused of forcing a 4-year-old girl to drink alcohol as a form of punishment were formally charged with murder in the child's death.
Back in April, first responders were called to a home on Wallis Street where they found China Record unresponsive.
Investigators later learned the girl's grandmother, 53-year-old Roxanne Record, caught the 4-year-old taking a sip of Canadian Mist whiskey and then allegedly forced the girl to drink the rest of the bottle, according to arrest documents.
Police said the girl's mother, 28-year-old Kadjah Record watched the whole thing unfold and did nothing to stop it.
